This article puts immigration from Latin America into
perspective. President Trump has made a pet issue stoking racist fears
that our Southern border is experiencing invasion. I am struggling to
find an issue that is less further from the truth. In the past days,
protesters of the broken U.S. immigration policy gathered near the San Diego
border crossing to protest U.S. failure to enact sensible immigration policy to
fix our broken immigration system. During the protest U.S. Border guards
fired tear gas at mother with children in diapers.
The reality of Latin American
immigration is far from the invasion this President and our media attempts to
picture. According to Former Commissioner of U.S. INS Doris Meissner, "Amid the noise it is easy to miss the
turnaround story of the past decade that “has not at all been grasped by the
general public”, says Doris Meissner, a former commissioner of the United
States Immigration and Naturalisation Service, now at the Migration Policy
Institute in Washington, dc. Not only have the migration numbers tumbled
and the share of Mexicans among them dwindled. More Mexicans are now returning
to Mexico than are coming to the United States illegally.” Full article here:
